Situated just off of Fifth Avenue on one of the most desirable and picturesque residential blocks in Carnegie Hill, 17 East 93rd Street is noteworthy for its welcoming facade courtyard, classic details, and meticulous renovation. Originally designed by William Graul in the Renaissance Revival Style in the late 19th Century, this splendid residence is awash with sunlight throughout the day and with an eye to luxury and convenience, it has been perfectly adapted to today’s lifestyle.

The current owner undertook a complete restoration and rebuilding of this graciously-scaled house, meticulously replacing all systems and interior structure. The striking and impeccable result blends state-of-the art technology and modern convenience with traditional architectural elements and fine finishes. Notable features include an elevator to all levels and a gorgeous, gracefully-curving central staircase crowned by a large skylight.
